本文以後殖民論述為方法，探究劇本《賣花女》與其改編電影《窈窕淑女》中的「英語暴力」與「英語教／學」的權力糾葛，聚焦語言學教授霍荊士如何以「正統英語」之名誘導又歧視賣花女依萊莎。在「教化」她的過程中，正統英語也引起了弱勢族群的英語學習焦慮。兩人恰似宗主國與被殖民國在彼此吸引／拒斥、模仿／戲弄的曖昧中形成一種相互依賴的關係

This paper adopts post-colonial discourse to explore the ＂English violence＂ and the power struggle of ＂English teaching/ learning＂ in ＂Pygmalion＂ and ＂My Fair Lady＂, discussing how Higgins the linguistic professor induces and discriminates the flower girl Eliza. In the process of ＂teaching＂ her, the orthodox English is constructed to be a cannon of western empire's hegemony and raises the English-learning anxiety in the disadvantaged. The relationship between the two is like that of the colonizing country and the colonized-a kind of codependence formed in the ambivalence (Homi K. Bhabha) when the two are attracting/ rejecting, mimicking/ mocking each other
